Akil R. Lile, Director of Planning at Coty
“OMP enables increased agility and synchronization. The supply chains of our products are now planned in OMP consistently throughout the day. The end-to-end approach of OMP optimizes the launch planning of new SKUs in our different markets while minimizing remnants on phase-out products and raw materials.”
